ANIMISMO” ERNESTO BOZZANO No CAPÍTULO XIX de “O LIVRO DOS MÉDIUNS”, ALLAN KARDEC pergunta: 3 Memória dos Fenômenos Anímicos e Espíritas Carlos Bernardo Loureiro P. “As comunicações escritas ou verbais podem ser também do próprio ESPÍRITO DO MÉDIUM? R. “A Alma do médium pode comunicar-se como qualquer outra. Se ela goza de um certo grau de liberdade, recobra então as suas qualidades de Espírito. Tens a prova na visita das almas de pessoas vivas que se comunicam contigo, muitas vezes sem serem evocadas. PORQUE É BOM SABERES QUE ENTRE OS ESPÍRITOS QUE EVOCAS HÁ OS QUE ESTÃO ENCARNADOS NA TERRA. NESTE CASO ELES TE FALAM COMO ESPÍRITOS E NÃO COMO HOMENS. Por que o Médium não poderia fazer o mesmo?” O que chama atenção na resposta do Espírito não é ele ter afirmado que “A ALMA DO MÉDIUM PODE COMUNICAR-SE COMO QUALQUER OUTRA”. Este é um ponto pacífico, objeto de específico e especiais estudos de parte do próprio Kardec e de pesquisadores do porte de ERNESTO BOZZANO (“ANIMISMO OU ESPIRITISMO”) e de ALEXANDRE AKSAKÜFF (“ANIMISMO E ESPIRITISMO”). O que chama atenção, realmente, é esta revelação: “PORQUE É BOM SABERES QUE ENTRE OS ESPÍRITOS QUE EVOCAS HÁ OS QUE ESTÃO ENCARNADOS NA TERRA” (grifos nossos). Dir-se-ia que o CODIFICADOR desconhecia o fato de estar evocando Espíritos que já estavam reencarnados.

Sir Arthur spoke through her lips and told Mary that he had passed on a few minutes ago. This was her first news of his death.

  • The History Spiritualism
    THE HISTORY of SPIRITUALISM by ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE, M.D., LL.D. former President d'Honneur de la Fédération Spirite Internationale, President of the London Spiritualist Alliance, and President of the British College of Psychic Science Volume One With Seven Plates PSYCHIC PRESS LTD First edition 1926 To SIR OLIVER LODGE, M.S. A great leader both in physical and in psychic science In token of respect This work is dedicated PREFACE This work has grown from small disconnected chapters into a narrative which covers in a way the whole history of the Spiritualistic movement. This genesis needs some little explanation. I had written certain studies with no particular ulterior object save to gain myself, and to pass on to others, a clear view of what seemed to me to be important episodes in the modern spiritual development of the human race. These included the chapters on Swedenborg, on Irving, on A. J. Davis, on the Hydesville incident, on the history of the Fox sisters, on the Eddys and on the life of D. D. Home. These were all done before it was suggested to my mind that I had already gone some distance in doing a fuller history of the Spiritualistic movement than had hitherto seen the light - a history which would have the advantage of being written from the inside and with intimate personal knowledge of those factors which are characteristic of this modern development. It is indeed curious that this movement, which many of us regard as the most important in the history of the world since the Christ episode, has never had a historian from those who were within it, and who had large personal experience of its development.

  • Downloaded from Manchesterhive.Com at 10/02/2021 09:06:47AM Via Free Access 90 Bridget Bennett Serious Scholarship That Has Been Done on Spiritualism to Date
    5 Crossing over: spiritualism and the Atlantic divide Bridget Bennett A joke has it that spiritualists first crossed the water in order to get to the other side. Despite its obvious shortcomings, it does suggest a more serious imperative: the investigation of how reading nineteenth-century spiritualism within a transatlantic context might be a highly revelatory activity, might indeed reveal something more interesting than we have hitherto considered about what crossing the Atlantic meant to spiritual- ists. Nineteenth-century spiritualism is routinely described as a phenom- enon that originated in the United States and spread first across the Atlantic and then world-wide. In this essay I will argue that a transatlan- tic focus challenges existing orthodoxies and suggests new areas of inves- tigation. Yet in describing this agenda for reading spiritualism I am conscious that this chapter asks more questions than it answers (and may, at times, seem to raise issues and give examples only to move elsewhere). Though many American and British spiritualists were more interested in the site of the seance, and the revelations it might contain, rather than its cultural origins, the same cannot be said for many historians of spiri- tualism. A number of historians have argued that spiritualism emerged in America as a discrete cultural phenomenon which needs to be read within its American context in order to make sense of its myth of origin – the ‘Rochester rappings’ of 1848. In such interpretations, American spiritual- ism is read as a culturally specific form that arises from a number of local geographical, cultural and political factors.1 Such an approach, however, does not sufficiently account for the complexities of spiritualism’s inher- itance; it does not consider the heterogeneity of a movement that draws from both sides of the Atlantic, and from European Christian traditions as well as Native American religious practices and, crucially, from the religious beliefs of slaves.

    July 2012] Further Facets of Indridi Indridason’s Mediumship FURTHER FACETS OF INDRIDI INDRIDASON’S MEDIUMSHIP, INCLUDING ‘TRANSCENDENTAL’ MUSIC, DIRECT SPEECH, XENOGLOSSY AND LIGHT PHENOMENA by ERLENDUR HARALDSSON ABSTRACT The Experimental Society kept a protocol of most séances with Indridi Indridason in the form of Minute Books. They had been lost for over half a century when two of them were rediscovered recently, along with additional pages. This paper describes some phenomena that were not dealt with in the 1989 SPR Proceedings by Gissur- arson and Haraldsson, or that can be described more fully after examination of the Minute Books. An earlier paper (Haraldsson, 2011) dealt with one particular case in Indridason’s mediumship, namely the description of the fire in Copenhagen and the identity of the trance-personality Emil Jensen. The present paper reveals in greater detail how the séances were conducted and deals with the main trance- personalities of Indridason’s mediumship, and the phenomena with which each of them was particularly involved. Particular attention is paid to reports of ‘transcend- ental’ music, foreign direct communicators, including voices of two professional singers (one male and one female) who sang loudly at the same time, and cases of xenoglossy and direct speech. This paper also reports on checks carried out into claimed memories, the reported ‘disappearance’ of the medium’s left arm, light phenomena, the appearance of Emil Jensen in a pillar of light, and the appearance of a monster-like animal. Contemporary criticism of Indridason’s mediumship is reviewed and conclusions drawn as to the relevance of his remarkable phenomena to the question of survival.

  • THE MEDIUMSHIP of ARNOLD CLARE Leader of the Trinity of Spiritual Fellowship
    THE MEDIUMSHIP OF ARNOLD CLARE Leader of the Trinity of Spiritual Fellowship by HARRY EDWARDS Captain, Indian Army Reserve of Officers. Lieutenant, Home Guard. Parliamentary Candidate North Camberwell 1929 and North-West Camberwell 1936. London County Council Candidate 1928, 1931, 1934, 1937. Leader of the Balham Psychic Research Society. Author of ‘The Mediumship of Jack Webber’ First Published by: THE PSYCHIC BOOK CLUB 144 High Holborn, London, W.C. 1 FOREWORD Apart from the report by Mr. W. Harrison of the early development of Mr. Arnold Clare's mediumship, the descriptions of the séances, the revelations of Peter and the writing of this book took place during the war years 1940-41. As enemy action on London intensified, the physical séances ceased and in the autumn of 1940 were replaced by discussion circles. The first few circles took place in the author's house before a company of about twenty people. It was soon appreciated that the intelligence (known as Peter), speaking through the entranced medium, was of a high order and worthy of reporting. So these large discussion groups gave way to a small circle held in the medium's house, attended by Mr. and Mrs. Clare, Mr. and Mrs. Hart, Mrs. Edwards and the author, an occasional visitor and with Mrs. W. B. Cleveland as stenographer. The procedure at these circles would be that, in normal white light, Mr. Clare would enter into a trance state. His Guide, Peter, taking control, would discourse upon the selected topic answering all questions fluently and without hesitation. Frequently, during these sittings, the air-raid sirens would be heard and the local anti- aircraft guns would be in action.

  • The Physical Mediumship of the Bangs Sisters and an Examination of Their Precipitated Spirit Portraits
    Seeking to Establishing Knowledge and Understanding /www.the-voice-box.com /[email protected] The Physical Mediumship of the Bangs Sisters and an examination of their precipitated Spirit Portraits. By N. Riley Heagerty It is August, the year is 1911. A large audience has filled to capacity the auditorium at the world famous Chesterfield Spiritualist Camp in the State of Indiana, America. They have come to witness a demonstration of psychic power, one of the most unique and marvelous in the entire world. A select committee has arranged beforehand that upon entering the building, all have been given a numbered ticket, the stub of which is torn off and put into a large vat to be thoroughly mixed up; later on, one stub will be randomly drawn from the collection. Now, after a close examination by the committee to see that there are no markings or paint of any kind, or signs of chemical treatment, a large plain canvas is placed on an easel in the centre of the stage. The spirit mediums who will demonstrate the phenomena now enter the auditorium, they are sisters and appear to be about 35 to 40 years of age. Both take their seats on the rostrum, one situated on each side of the easel and clearly four to five feet from it; they will never touch the canvas throughout the entire demonstration. A member of the committee now reaches in and selects from the vat one ticket stub and reads the number aloud to the audience; it belongs to a Mrs. Alice Alford.
